Dr. Romantic (낭만닥터 김사부)

(The characters, places, organizations, and events in this drama are works of fiction)

It's an unidentified middle-aged man.

He's had three gunshot wounds.

Cardiac arrest. PEA.

If we don't move and operate right away, the patient will die.

But those people are North Korean defectors.

Until the North Korean representatives return to Pyongyang,

those people cannot be allowed onto South Korean soil.

That's how it is

on an official level.

Then what about on an unofficial level?

It cannot be leaked that he's here.

The trauma center.

Let's open it up for now.

This is our trauma center's first patient.

Let's save him no matter what.

Dad.

You're not...

receiving patients, are you?

Where are you trying to send these dying people?

If we don't return all the people that were on that boat by midnight,

the summit in Seoul will be suspended immediately.

I need to go to the bathroom.

Do you really have to do this surgery?

The least I can do is to make sure they can live.

In any case, they're our patients.

Turn on the power, please! Hurry!

Please save me.

Let's do what we can.

You're going to find it only with your sense of touch?

Put your hands up!

Those people...

Was there no way for us to protect them?

Five sailors were rescued in the East Sea...

Unfortunately, four of the sailors

died of extreme malnourishment, dehydration, and injuries.

Since I granted you this favor,

I no longer owe you anything.

It's just better for us to do our best as doctors.

Generally speaking, it's important to make it down well.

But this darn thing called pride

makes a man act petty.

Look far ahead, got it?

- Also… - If you're going down anyway,

- you might as well look cool doing it. …loosen up a little!

Put your goggles on!

But greed and arrogance make you try so hard.

- Only after you become a wreck… - Got it?

…will you finally be able to let it go.

This wind…

Don't jump. No! Don't!

Don't jump, I tell you!

Is there no way for a man

to look graceful

while falling?

What do you mean by that?

There is only one condition for me to join you.

You will remove Bu Yongju from Doldam Hospital Trauma Center.

Can't we reach an agreement with your salary or any other condition?

I'm not asking to make a deal, Director Park.

Professor, we can't run the Trauma Center without Master Kim.

It's unimaginable.

Then let's forget we ever discussed this.

It's me.

When do you want to start?

When would you like me to start?

How about in one week?

I'll talk to Master Kim by then.

Of course, you will have to deal with resistance from the other doctors.

I'm prepared to deal with that much.

And let me know about other details before you start work.

Okay.

Yes. I'll see you then.

He says he'll do it.

Good work, Director Park.

- Master Kim. - Yes?

May I ask you why?

Why did you make such a decision?

You determined that we need him

and wanted to bring him here.

Still, I didn't want the Trauma Center without you there.

The Trauma Center…

had been a longtime dream of yours.

Taking that away would be cheating.

Director Park.

Do you know how to put an elephant into a fridge?

The answer is simple.

Open the door.

Put the elephant inside. Then, close the door.

Master Kim.

But just because something is simple

doesn't mean anyone can do it.

A simple solution doesn't make it easy.

You and I have only just grabbed the doorknob.

(Volume 3 Putting An Elephant in a Fridge, Part 2)

This is the Doldam Hospital ER.

Yes, got it.

Dr. Jang, an emergency patient is arriving in three minutes.

Oh, okay. Can you bandage him up, please?

Yes, Doctor.

Oh, and you need to look at the laceration wound in bed eight.

Laceration wound? Okay.

Dr. Jang, the X-ray is out for the patient in bed two.

Okay.

Oh, what should we do about the patient with the stomachache?

I'll do it.

Dr. Jang! The laceration wound in bed eight.

- They've been waiting for a while. - Okay.

Doctor, there's so much blood.

Doctor, please take a look here.

- Doctor. - We were here first.

- But this is urgent. - Doctor.

- Just a moment. - Please help us.

- Doctor. - We were here first.

- Doctor? - Doctor!

- Excuse me. - Doctor.

Are Dr. Jung Insu and Yoon Areum not here yet?

Dr. Jung went to a meeting with the director.

And Dr. Yoon hasn't come to work yet.

Seriously…

We have a patient!

There was a car crash.

A penetrating wound in the abdomen. BP is 80/40. Heart rate 120.

His BP is too low. What should we do, Dr. Jang?

Dr. Jang! What about the stomachache patient?

Dr. Jang! The laceration wound in bed eight!

- Dr. Jang! - Dr. Jang!

Dr. Jang! Bed eight!

Wait… just a minute.

- Bed eight! - What are you doing?

- Please come quickly! - It's urgent!

- Dr. Jang! - Dr. Jang!

Over here!

What are you doing right now?

Get a grip, punk!

He just fell asleep standing up, right?

I think he even had a dream.

You must be very tired, Dr. Jang.

Yes…

I'm okay.

It's an emergency patient!

It's a 26-year-old male. He's on the national ski jump team.

He was injured while making a landing during training.

His vitals are 126/82 and 68.

He doesn't seem to have any external injuries,

but he's suffering from extreme pain.

- Let's get him in the hybrid OR. - Okay.

Please wait here.

Aren't you coming?

What about Dr. Jung Insu and Dr. Yoon Areum?

Dr. Jung is in a meeting with the director.

And Dr. Yoon hasn't come to work yet.

Dr. Jang.

Dr. Jang, hurry.

- Oh, you're here. - Yes, hello.

Put that inside. No, not there. That's it.

Wait! That's new. Make sure not to bump it.

- Yes, that's it. - What are you doing?

Oh, Dr. Seo. Are you just coming to work?

A new CT surgical fellow will be joining us today.

I've been rearranging for them.

Is Cha Eunjae moving to this room?

That's right. From now on, general surgeons will be in one room,

and CT surgeons will be in another.

You will be with your own specialty.

But, why are there three desks?

I'm not sure. Director Park Minguk asked me to prepare another.

Anyway, I can't believe I get to witness this sight.

It seems only yesterday we ran the hospital with just Master Kim.

Honestly, when Dr. Kang Dongju and Dr. Yoon Seojeong joined us,

I never imagined that Master Kim's dream would come true.

But one room is overflowing with general surgeons,

and another room is full of cardiothoracic surgeons.

On top of that, the Trauma Center is standing tall.

I am so deeply moved.

Hey, a man is talking.

Gosh, how could he be so lacking in social skills?

My goodness! Sorry, go easy on that.

Hey, you're here.

- Did you work all night? - Of course.

I was on call. Of course I worked all night.

I couldn't sleep a wink.

Weren't you sleeping just now?

Sleeping? Who?

I wasn't sleeping.

I brought you some tomato juice.

I blanched them before blending it.

It should taste okay.

You made it yourself?

- You even blanched them? - Yes.

I even blanched them myself.

Hey, what is this?

You're quite moving with just a few tomatoes.

While you're at it, open the lid for me too. Please?

Pretty please?

Sorry, I'm still half asleep.

My tongue isn't completely awake yet.

Mmm!
